State Department hiding report showing “Palestinian” “refugees” only number in tens of thousands, not millions
That this report has still not been released even as the Trump administration withholds millions from UNRWA testifies to the ongoing presence of Obama loyalists in the State Department, determined to sabotage the Trump policies. In any case, “Palestinian” “refugee” status is as much of a scam as the “Palestinian” nationality as a whole. It’s […]
US State Department puts $700,000 into Hungarian media, demands “programming” against Orban, patriots
The U.S. State Department has courted controversy by announcing it will plough $700,000 into Hungarian media, angering the country’s anti-globalist, conservative government This shocking report makes no sense given the commonalities between President Trump in “making America great again” and Victor Orban’s similar stance.

Break out the champagne: State Department officials quitting over “complete and utter disdain for our expertise”
We can only hope that with the departure of these failed State Department officials, their failed policies will be swept out along with them.

Champagne time: it’s a “bloodbath” at the State Department
Break out the hats and hooters: the failed State Department establishment, which has applied and reapplied and reapplied again failed policies that have been shown to be based on false analysis time and time again (Poverty causes terrorism!

Dissent memo circulating in the State Department over Trump’s policy on refugees and immigrants
“A policy which closes our doors to over 200 legitimate travelers in the hopes of preventing a small number of travelers who intend to harm Americans from using the visa system to enter the United States will not achieve its aim of making our country safer.” Why not? What is the alternative? We saw what […]
State Department spokesman says US will continue to cooperate with Pakistan in war on terrorism
How long will it be before someone — anyone — in the Washington establishment wakes up and realizes that the Islamic Republic of Pakistan is not really pursuing a “war on terrorism” at all?

Iran accuses US of backing the Islamic State and the “Zionist Regime”
Jihadist propaganda brazenly ascends again. This time, it’s the rogue state of Iran accusing the US of backing the Islamic State and the “Zionist regime”, in retaliation for the State Department citing Iran as the world’s biggest state-sponsor of terrorism.
